Loss and resilience…
Haruki: So what happened was that Masayoshi mortgaged his house and his business to support his son’s software enterprise. But the son lost it all so at the end of his life Masayoshi lost his business and ended up losing his house too. Nothing left.
Kazuo: Makes estate planning easy, I guess. Nothing in the will for family to squabble over.

Kazuo: Resentment against the prodigal son, so to speak.
Haruki: In Masayoshi’s case it was property that was lost. But I was at a concert the other night. Lady in some pain came on and sang. Smiled all the way through. Nice voice. Heard later she has advanced cancer but wants to perform to the end. Just like Misora Hibari. About the same age too, early fifties.

Voice-over
Losing property is frustrating but having your life cut short is something you can’t get back.
